2008, June 14: Deception Falls and Iron Goat Trail

June 14th 2008: We went to Deception Falls first. The water was roaring over the falls, it was beautiful and all was well until I fell for the 1st time. Jace was nice enough to take pictures of me after the fall into the water. Like I said "1st fall". After leaving Deception Falls I changed into some dry clothes and we headed to the Iron Goat Trail. Much to Jace's surprise I still wanted to go on this trail despite several people reporting that they had seen bears on the trail that very same day. With bear spray in tow we went. It was great, it was like taking a step back into history. I was very much enjoying the hike until, well I had the second fall,this time I caught the side of a hole in the ground with the side of my foot and fell and twisted my ankle. No pictures of this fall, I was in tears and I think he knew better. Needless to say it was a long trip back to the truck and an even longer wait in the emergency room. All in all I am ok, just a really bad sprain....lots of swelling and bruising. We plan on going back to finish enjoying this beautiful trail.
